"Avoid sunburn. Use a sunscreen lotion with a high SPF (sun protection factor) rating." Absolutely no bronzing. Also, no writing funny sayings when someone asks you to do their back.

"Check up on your elderly neighbors and relatives and encourage them to take these precautions, too." Be a good neighbor. The elderly are particularly susceptible to the heat, and are more likely to die of complications related to heat exhaustion or dehydration. Some will also offer lemonade to nice whippersnappers. less

Record-breaking temps predicted for Puget Sound this weekend

1 / 22

Back to Gallery

Head out to the drug store and buy some fans -- temperatures are expected to climb this week, peaking with possibly record-breaking temperatures this weekend.

The spike in heat may also contribute to a record-warm month of June.

With temperatures predicted to hit nearly 80 Wednesday in Seattle, National Weather Service forecasts say Seattle temps will continue to climb until hitting as high as 86 degrees Sunday.

However, just south of Seattle at Sea-Tac Airport, the National Weather Service says the heat on Saturday could break that city's 15-year-old record high of 88 degrees by topping out at 89.

In Olympia, the record of 91 degrees, also set in 2000, may also be broken by one degree on Saturday, according to National Weather Service forecasts.

Low temperatures at night will also be warm, hovering in the 60s in many spots.

An excessive heat watch was issued for southwest Washington and northwest Oregon in anticipation of the weather Friday through Sunday, when temperatures will reach the highest of the year so far. The heat is predicted to hit the 90s by Friday and reach 95 to 100 degrees on Saturday. It will remain muggy and in the 90s Sunday.

Areas of Eastern Oregon and Eastern Washington could also surpass the 100 mark, the National Weather Service says.

These high temperatures will perpetuate a warmer-than-usual June. With the Sea-Tac record-high monthly average of 75.8 degrees -- set in 1992 -- this June may "shatter this record," according to the National Weather Service.
